No rehearsal today. Ms. Bridges will be at an all day conference
Very few students were present, so we did not rehearse Shakespeare. 
The Ss who were there participated in 2 improv warm-ups called Symphony of Emotions & I Am a Tree
Then they broke into two casts and created improv-compositions. They were given an outline that included a list of theatrical and script elements that they had to incorporate into a Seven-Scene Story.  These were:

Zombie Apocalypse Love-Triangle created & performed by Christian F., Royer, Chynna, & Cynthia
Hollywood Murder Mystery created & performed by Jeriah, Chelsy, Amber; Tigran

I was really very impressed with the stories that they came up with.
